WHAT’S NEW

Version 13.1.2:

A preview of the temporary citation Bookends will insert updates in real-time as you enter modifiers in the Copy Citation And Modifiers dialog

Introducing Floating Citations:

With floating citations you can search your reference library, read PDF attachments, create and insert temporary citations, and more, without leaving your word processor. To use floating citations, Bookends must be running and a library must be open. The floating citation window is triggered while in another application (typically a word processor, but it can be Scrivener, DEVONthink, Tinderbox, or any other application) by double tapping a modifier key. This feature can be enabled/disabled in preferences (Scan & Bib tab), where you can select the trigger key you prefer: Shift, Control, Command, Option, or Caps Lock (Shift is the default). Refer to the User Guide (Help menu) for complete details on the use of floating citations.

Use Quick Add to import multiple references at once:

The reference identifiers (DOIs, PMIDs, ISBNs, or JSTOR URLs) must be separated with commas.

Import multiple references at once by dragging and dropping a single DOI or a list of DOIs on the library window:

DOIs in a list should be separated by Returns or commas.

Bug fixes:

Fixed several circumstances where "et al." was not italicized properly. Fixed edge cases where a space could follow or precede the open/close parenthesis in the MLA format.
